Developing our people

Getting a job with us is the first step to a rewarding career, and wherever we operate we look to the local community to provide the talented people we need. Once in our workforce, our people are able to take advantage of a range of programmes designed to help them gain the skills and qualifications they need, following their preferred career paths.

Development Programmes

People who enter our graduate programme have the opportunity to build their capabilities across a range of disciplines. We help our graduates gain the technical, professional and personal competencies they need to help them develop their career.

Our mentor programme gives our younger team members access to the incredible depth of knowledge and experience of our leaders across every area of the business. The mentors are happy to give their time and expertise to the next generation of leaders because it strengthens our business and ensures our ongoing success.

Our inclusive workplace training works on cultural change and unconscious bias. Participants get a greater understanding of the culture and behaviours that we expect from our people, and gives them the skills to identify hidden biases, realise their impact and manage them effectively.

Training and Education

Our people are encouraged to own their careers and seek both professional and personal development opportunities. In line with our Care Strategy, we provide our people with in-house training, ensuring they are competent to perform work safely. We support the continual growth of our people and encourage professional associations and further education.

Leadership Development

We build good leaders by enhancing leadership capability at all levels of the business. In 2017 we designed and started delivering a suite of leadership development and management programmes that promote our values and key leadership behaviours.

We encourage innovation and creativity, and we give our people opportunities to further their knowledge base, their skills and their experience levels. The results are positive on all sides, and we recognise that developing our people and leaders helps our business grow stronger.
